About Nizmenny Lighthouse

Also known as: Nizmenny (Mys Nizmenny)

The Nizmenny Lighthouse, built in 1979, is an octagonal masonry tower standing 8 meters tall and painted white. It stands on a promontory near Boshnyakovo, 0.3 kilometers away. The lighthouse emits a red flash every 6 seconds, with a focal height of 22 meters, providing a geographic range of 13.6 nautical miles. This structure replaced an earlier lighthouse that was lost to the sea in 1978. The current tower's construction material is masonry.

Why it matters: The active light of the Nizmenny Lighthouse warns vessels away from the promontory it marks, defining a shipping lane north of Uglegorsk.
